Hi! I am doing a PhD on online civic participation project (e-participation). Within my research, I have carried out a user survey, where I asked how many people ever edited/created a page on a Wiki. Now I would like to compare the results with the overall rate of wiki editing/creation on country level.
I've found some country-level statistics on Wikipedia Statistics (e.g. 3,000 editors of Wikipedia articles in Italy) but data for UK and France are not available since Wikipedia provides statistics by languages, not by countries. I'm thus looking for statistics on UK and France (but am also interested in alternative ways of measuring wiki editing/creation in Sweden and Italy).
I would be grateful for any tips! Sunny regards, Alina

Some data by country is being compiled at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiWomenCamp_-_women_perspective_by..., though not sure how helpful this actually will be for your specific need.
Here you have some statistics by country http://stats.wikimedia.org/#countries
Do you have any blog/site where we can read about your research progress?

Hi! Thanks for the link emijrp@gmail.com but I can only find editors per language not per country: http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm
This means that for English I will have editors from all over the world, not only from the UK. I would need statistics for the UK and France editors. Is this available somewhere?
I have a homepage where you can find more info about my research:

Sorry, the link I gave you has some tricky javascript and doesn't point to the correct section.
Try now http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportsCountriesLanguagesVi...
You have edit and pageview info by country. Please, check carefully, these tables are complicated and sometimes you think you understand some numbers but they have other meaning. Study them deeply!

ّIn addition to what emijrp introduced (which is the best source I know, however with some systematic errors and miss-leadings) I would add two articles.
In http://journals.chapman.edu/ojs/index.php/e-Research/article/view/69/277some results on english wikipedia based on following the IP addresses are presented. In http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0030091, an estimation of the location of editors based on the temporal features of editorial activity is given.

For en.wiki, it would also be fun to use a linguistic analysis technique as they did for http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/essays-english-yield-information-about-other-languages-0723. Or was this already done by someone?
